You know that feeling when you see this guy with about 200 games but he mainly plays TF2 or just one game, and he has a bunch of games that you want just sitting in his library, not touching them and you're just thinking "AGGHHH".

Steam isn't a place for playing games, it's for having the pride of collecting games.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not saying EVERYBODY does this, it's just the people who have time and money and are able to run the their games but mainly play a few games or one game. In their defense, they did buy the games with their own money and should be able to do what they want with them.

I used to have about 200 diskette 5.25" with 3-10 games for Sinclair Spectrum ZX on each. So 200 games it's really not a lot. :D

To my defense, a lot of this built up when I had a pretty awful computer (HL2 was kinda unplayable lol). Also, offline mode. I really wish that tracked all the time I was away (edit: to clarify, I'm on a laptop I take with me to places with... shudders dial-up only).

Really? Huh, I didn't know that. I typically play most of my games single player mode and offline on my laptop.

It's been a while since I've been offline any decent amount of time, and playing something while I was off, but yeah... used to not even track achievements (iirc that's fixed now, but I don't pay a huge amount of attention to achievements honestly). I had no internet at all (not even dial-up) for about a month immediately after I bought Terraria. Many, many hours missing. :/ And back when the achievements didn't unlock offline, I missed a handful (and a bunch of hours) in Torchlight 1. I think they're still out of order/not showing up as unlocked even now.

That's me with Garry's Mod.

Though currently playing other games as well. :3

We spend our time on steamgifts and steamtrades instead of actually playing. So at least we are "more sociable". :D

It's not just steam, it's life. You could say what you said about pretty much any hobby... the guys with the most money have the most toys. Be it video games, jet-skis, cars, that kid down the street who always had like a billion more toys than you did. It's life, get over it.

I play some games but I prefer to keep them in mint condition in the download folder. One day I'm either going to make a fortune selling them on eBay or just hand them down to my kids when I die.

Sometimes, I take care to not download them, as they can collect fragmentation even in their original folder. Wouldn't want to unnecessarily reduce their value, you know.

See the thing is, Steam has really prospered due to two things, the amazingly fantastic deals (especially considering every other video game market out there) and a huge sense of community. The people on your friends list aren't just chat buddies or people you play with sometimes, they can be people you like enough to give games too, and sometimes to receive games from. Also with sites like this and the rise of the "pay what you want" bundle system, it's really easy to amass a huge number of games for relativity low cost.

Plus, games are a really large time commitment. Even if you only have 10 games on your steam profile, that could be multiple 100+ hour experiences.

Steam says I have 212 games and I have played the vast majority of them to some degree although it is a bit of a thorn in my side that I have some games that I purchased and they just ended up sitting there and became part of my backlog for whatever reasons.

I've got 399 games according to steam profile, and I don't really play a lot of them... Ofcourse many of them are games I beat long ago, and others are games I'm planning to get around to when I find the time between work and other games.

I have a few games, some I purchased myself, others gifted directly by friends/family...
As for my lack of play time on several of them is due to a minor hardware issues not meeting minimum requirements (for the moment.)

Well, that's very rude of you :/ It's none of your business what games people choose to play or choose not to play. Especially when those games don't even belong to you.

If you enjoy paying for thin air, noone stops you. Fat imperialists sitting beside me are even grateful or so they say. Dunno if whether they are sincere.

I know I'm guilty of this. Mostly because of Minecraft with friends and a 1mbit connection that makes big games take forever to download. Also.. Indie bundles. I try to work my way thru them but eh. Only so much time in the day.

I own about 50 games (give or take a few.) I play most of the titles I own, though there are about a dozen that I haven't even installed yet.

I also have an excuse for why I didn't play Sonic Adventure DX: It won't run on my laptop.
